Boa tarde everyone. Good afternoon. Just thought we'd let everyone know that we are just waiting on the visas. We applied about 4 weeks ago and they said to check back in 6-8 weeks. They've called once asking for another paper from Brazil, which we are working on. The house is sold, we're debt free and packed. Please pray for God's will to be done in this situation.
We are living with my mom in Noblesville, but for the last week and a half, we've been staying with our friends the Colemans, in Frankfort. We had ballgames, doctor's appointments and VBS. Driving back and forth to Noblesville would cost a fortune. Don does it every day for work any way. We still have a couple of offers of places to stay here, and we may be calling those people and taking them up on the offer!
God is working on us, preparing us for what's to come. We are anxiously waiting! Maybe I should say, expectantly, not anxiously.
We'll let you know when we have a comissioning date, departure date, etc.

Father's Day

Hello Everyone! This is Maggie. Happy Father's day to all you Father out there. I just wanted to take a few minutes to say how blessed I am to have the Christian father that I have. We have had our rough times, but my mom says that it is because we are so much alike(scary right…just kidding). I really take that as a complement. My aunt was joking around the other day and said that my dad and uncle can talk to anyone for five minutes and know their blood type. I think that this is a gift that my dad has. There is just something about him that makes people feel so comfortable and relaxed around him.

I just wanted to thank him for all that he does for our family. I want to thank him for all the times that he dressed up in a wedding outfit or a hula skirt to dance at Emily's and my dance recitals. I want to thank him for being the arms that comforted me when I would fall and hurt myself when I was younger. I want to thank him for patiently teaching me how to drive even when I would drive about 50 miles per hour over railroad tracks, even after he told me to slow down about a thousand times. I want to thank him for being a Daddy to all of us kids even though he didn't have one to learn from when he was younger. You are an honorable man Daddy and I love you sooooo much. Happy Father's Day.
